F2F Goals:
Task I. Complete a public directory of Open Source identity products mapped to the Kantara workgroups1. Define categories of products in the scope of KI
Technologies :
...
1. Overview
a. Define material for studies
List technologies and associated specifications
- SAML
- OpenID
- OAuth
- UMA
- WS-Trust
- ID-WSF
- X509
- XACML PDP
- XACML PEP
2. Define Access Control policy (allowing definition of WS-policy or XACML documents)
- Privacy policy definition (allowing definition of P3P documents)
- LDAP directories
- LDAP meta-directoty/synchronization, XACML, WS-Policy)
- Generic tools (XML, DTD, namespaces, HTTP server/Client, X509, Cryptography)
- XML Security (XML signature, encryption, WS-Security)
- Identity backends (LDAP, DB, text files), provisionning (SPML) and synchronization
- SPML
...
- (meta-directories)
For open specifications, which IPR.)
List existing certifications
...
of specification implementations
Structure the whole picture with categories and products
- Personnal Web SSO and attribute sharing (OpenId)
- Authentication delegation, certified personal data and access delegation to trusted services (SAML, IDWSF)
- Personal data management and access delegation to personal services (OpenID, OAUTH, UMA)
- Identity Providers (may be SAML, openID, STS)
- Identity selectors, claims-agent, Identity-in the-cloud agent, Identity-in-the-browser, etc.
...
- Libraries implementing a specification.
Define characteristics for evaluation :(produce evaluation matrix)
- e.g. SAML: IdP/SP/ECP, then SSO/SLO/etc.
- e.g. Identity Selector: User terminal/in the cloud
3a. Study open source software and complete an objective a review :
- Introduced and discussed software on the mailing list
- Interested partie are invited to register and take part to the discussion
- We will limit the studies to one week in duration
- We will attempt to categorize the softwardsoftware
- Check functionalities
- Check open specifications implementation
- Check for certification
- Approval by vote of the group members
- Publish a note for each software in the public directory
- Announce the publication on the maling list
- Online comments and ratings
- Allow WG members to add comments and ratings to each software note
42. OSSIWG Milestones & immediate Deliverables :
- Vote to accept this work
- Setup a wiki space for this task
- Define the categories and existing open specifications and certifications
- Make a non-exhaustive list candidate software
- Setup the directory on the wiki (template for notes, functions to add comments and ratings...)
- Advertise the beginning of the effort; recruit participants
- Begin the survey: Objective 2 products per month
Task II. Open source general knowledge survey
Conduct an annual survey within the community as to their feelings about open source, free software and OSSIWG initiatives
1. Overview
a. Sample questionnaire
General FAQs :
...
- Have you ever used an open source product for identity management?
- Would you go in production with an open source product for identity management?
- Among these technologies, which, according to you, are missing open sources implementations?
- Cryptography
- HTTP server/Client
- XML, DTD, namespaces
- XML signature or encryption
- WS-Security
- SAML
- OpenID
- OAuth
- UMA
- WS-Trust
- ID-WSF
- X509
- Identity selectors, claims-agent, Identity-in the-cloud agent, etc.
- XACML PDP
- XACML PEP
- Access control policy definition (allowing definition of WS-policy or XACML documents)
- Privacy policy definition (allowing definition of P3P documents)
- LDAP directories
- LDAP meta-directoty/synchronization
- Identity backends (LDAP, DB, text files) synchronization
- SPML
- For each categories, ask if the products in the directory are known.
2. About OSSIWG :
- Did you know this WG before you were asked to answer this survey?
If yes, are you a WG member?
If not, do you plan to register?
If not, do you plan to register?
If yes, have you read public production of the OSSIWG? - Do you think that Kantara Initiative is a relevant actor to publish some works about open source software?
2. OSSIWG Milestones & immediate Deliverables :
- Vote to accept this work
- Setup a wiki space for this task
- Define a generic questionnaire
- Define the targets: KI members only, more.
- Adapt the questionnaire if necessary
- Define if it is an open questionnaire or if we should distribute tickets
- Define the vote duration (2 or 3 weeks)
- Accept the questionnaire by vote
- Publish the questionnaire and set up the vote
- Advertise the vote
- Analyze results
...
Task III. Web content publishing around open source
1. Overview :
- Publish news of the OSSIWG
- Provide general explanations and pointers on the main references of opensource (openb source licence directories, etc.)
- Periodic highlights from articles about open source (Blog?)
- Move toward a free online magazinewebzine, with a reviewing committee that publishes works related to open source software---emphasizing technology, with special issues (e.g. a new tech, green IT, etc.)
12. OSSIWG Milestones & immediate Deliverables :
- Vote to accept this task
- Setup a wiki space for this task
- Define the objectives
- Define the content and structure
- Define the web page navigation (plan how the articles will be highlighted)
- Create the guide: redaction/review 3/4 iterations
- WG approval of the guide
- Publish online
